Emergency Care Standards—Update 2014

Emergency Care Standards - Update 2014

The emergency care standards originally developed by Dr. John Ross have been further refined to ensure common understanding and consistency in compliance.

To ensure uniform measurement province-wide, indicators, reporting requirements and definitions have all been developed to further support the adoption of the emergency care standards, expected by December 2014.

Nova Scotia will be the first province in Canada to adopt and implement emergency care standards, enhancing the quality of care received by patients throughout the province.
